I have been spending more time with a special interest in trees lately.. I saw this article and remembered my visit to the Redwoods.. Awesome trees. Finding the World's Tallest Trees By Lisa Leff Associated Press posted: 05 January 2007 12:10 pm ET HUMBOLDT REDWOODS STATE PARK, Calif. (AP) — Equipped with a laser range finder, a head for numbers and an explorer's zeal, Michael Taylor has made a sport of finding and sizing up the tallest species on the planet, California's ancient coast redwoods. “It's a frontier, one of the last frontiers,'' says Taylor, 40, greeting individual trees like old friends as he scouts a sheltered creek bed where he has found record-setting redwoods in the past. “And it was pretty much unexplored.'' In the space of eight weeks last summer, he and fellow amateur naturalist Chris Atkins, 44, discovered what are believed to be the three tallest trees in the world, all of them higher than 370 feet and as much as 2,200 years old. The discoverers christened them Helios, after the Greek sun god; Hyperion, his father; and Icarus, the mythological youth whose wings melted when he flew too close to the sun. Separately and as a team, Atkins and Taylor are credited with cataloguing more extreme trees — those measuring 350 feet and up — than anyone else. Yet until they located the new champions in Redwood National Park, 90 miles north of here, their achievement was unappreciated outside a tiny fraternity of similarly obsessed scientists and enthusiasts. more at link.. http://www.livescience.com/environment/070...lest_trees.html

I found this reference to the Redwood.. REDWOOD is the Grandmother Spirit of the forests. It is unending Truth, ultimate wisdom and knowledge. I am especially interested in cedars and am happily preparing to grow one from seed soon. |

Cedar Trees in the ancient Hebrew texts symbolically represent the eternal bodied spirits (gods) of our brothers and sisters outside of here. The statement about the Mother and knowledge etc. are most accurate in this regard as such typifies those in the "higher" realms. (well, the highest realms currently as several of the "dimensions" above this one are wholly infested with nearly eternal bodied ner-do-wells. That will be rectified shortly )
